Say this at the chair

A textured crop: short, choppy length on top pushed forward, with a mid fade on the sides.

Top
Three to five centimetres (about 1¼ to 2 inches), point-cut for texture, worn forward.
Sides
Mid fade from a number 0.5 (#½ guard, about 1.5 mm, 1/16 in) or skin at the bottom, blending to a number 2 (#2 guard, about 6 mm, ¼ in).
Fringe
Blunt or lightly textured, sitting on the forehead.
Styling
A pea of matte clay worked through damp hair with the fingers, pushed forward. Two minutes.
Grow-out
The fade softens after three to four weeks. The top holds its shape for about six.
